I like to watch
Birds migrate
In perfect form
They're taking shape
Into the setting sun
Spiked through the trees
They seem to know
Where they're going
I missed the train again
Rode that empty space
Too long
And when I close my eyes
I see the passenger
I like to watch
Birds migrate
On distant shores
They congregate
I missed the train again
Rode that empty space
Too long
And when I close my eyes
I see the passenger
And he waits
And he waits
Yeah he waits for me
And he waits
And he waits
Yeah he waits for me
Fields where steels grows
Crops of iron and stones
They lie as it rolls
Fields passed steel goes
Can't stop life's impulse
I like to watch
I like to watch
Birds migrate
I missed the train again
Rode that empty space
Too long
And when I close my eyes
I see the passenger
And he waits
And he waits
Yeah he waits for me
And he waits
And he waits
Yeah he waits for me

Dark Star
04:47

|
Forever after
The sound your laughter
Through doorway the draft comes in
Stirs leaves you North wind
Oh light
Oh night
All my life
Once in every hundred years
We come between the sun
A shadow moves across the moon
For a moment we belong
It's then I'm only
The years of all life passed
You've been my Dark Star
Forever after
Rice hat and striped shirt
Through arches her form comes in
And wins
A heart pulling vast strings
Oh light
Oh night
All my life
Once in every thousand years
She come around the sun
A shadow moves across the sky
For a moment I belong
It's then I'm only
The tears of all light passed
You've been my Dark Star
Forever after
Forever after her
Forever after her
Forever after her
Forever after her
Forever after her
Forever after

Buried a River
03:16
|
|||
|
I faced the sky
And made one last plea
I saw my life
And longed to be free
Through the gates
The night awaits
All I was
I forsake
Oh no
I don't know myself
There's unread books
On dusty shelves
Cheap clothes
Grave stones
How they buried a river
Two pairs of shoes
Here now there's too much food
A mad man
A phantom
Blood's cleaned off the streets
Storm grows
Beneath those
Who
Buried a river
Allow me
To write a verse
Atone for deeds
I can't traverse
Then lay my head
For sound of sleep
My icon broke
I forfeit my lease
Oh no
I fear to know myself
From angels heights
To plains of Hell
Cheap clothes
Grave stones
How they buried a river
Two pairs of shoes
Here now there's too much food
A mad man
A phantom
Blood's cleaned off the streets
Storm grows
Beneath those
Who
Buried a river
A mad man
A phantom
Storm grows
Beneath those
Who
Buried a river

Lie On Heart
04:18
|
|||
|
I've been
Beside the seaside again
The city from afar changed lens
And you're out there
Somewhere the floors are stacked upon
Behind the doors a distant light
Lie heart
Lie heart
Another weeks drawn
You suffer still the sun
You draw the blinds but can't decide
Just how you must move on
Night shifts to cool drifts
Man-made islands are forming casinos
And I can't see you
Lie heart
Lie heart
Lie heart
Lie heart

Only Love
03:18
|
|||
|
Why
Cause you're my kind
Your dirty mind
Your gums your smile
So sweet and wild
And in good time oh
When seasons bind those
Young hot guys
To your love
But it's only love
Keep telling yourself
It's only love
Keep telling yourself
It's only love
Back there
This time of year
Stairs wind forever upwards
Will I ever touch you
Cold air
The sight so clear
Lights guide ships to harbour
Horizon laid to bare
Black
Black and White
In grey we fight
No wrong or right
Man words can bite
If trees could speak oh
With roots so deep low
Our hearts they reap
So blood soaked
But it's only love
Keep telling yourself
It's only love
Keep telling yourself
It's only
Back there
This time of year
Stairs wind forever upwards
Will I ever touch you
Cold air
The sight so clear
Lights guide ships to harbour
Horizon laid to bare
But it's only love
Keep telling yourself
It's only love
Keep telling yourself
It's only love
It's only love
Keep killing yourself
It's only love
Keep killing yourself
It's only love
It's only love
Back there
This time of year
Back where
It's all so clear
Back there
This time of year

Sun and Arrow
03:33
|
|||
|
Seated at nine
I see to the files
Hours go by
Finance archives
Numbers for lunch
Slaughtered
The floor is hosed
Go home
When paper works done
I must decide
The meal for tonight
Stage fright
I fall back and hide
Spotlight
I shelter my eyes
Oh
I'll give you the sun and arrow
If you'll pierce my side
Seated at nine
I sift through the piles
Years have gone by
Finance archives
The children have grown
And left me alone
The house too big
There's so much to keep
Overgrown weeds
Cosmetics and sweets
Stage fright
I fall back and hide
Spotlight
I stutter my lines
Oh
I'll give you the gun and ammo
If you'll take my life
Stage fright
I fall back and hide
Spotlight
I shelter my eyes
Stage fright
There's nowhere to hide
Spotlight
Like sparks in my eyes
They scrutinise
It turns me inside out
I'm into the wild
Oh
I am the sun and arrow
I am the light
Seated at nine
I see to the files

Sorrow
05:20
|
|||
|
I had a heart
It was clean
Now it's gone
So it seems
And all this time
It was a near
A memory I held so dear
See on the plains
Scorched Kangaroos
I'm an alien
Always on the move
You know it's there
The Harbour Bridge
Somewhere in the smoke
In the thick of it
Sing the chorus of the moon
See the colours in your room
Your walls are plasterboard
It's five to eleven
Can you feel the air's alive
Cicadas in the night
The sound is cutting through
It's hell or heaven
Sorrow
Sorrow
Sorrow
We're gone tomorrow
Sorrow
Sorrow
Sorrow
We're gone tomorrow
You're gone tomorrow
Can you see the signs
Underneath the southern sky
Can you hear the cries
Birds from the other side
Can you see the signs
Underneath the southern sky
Can you hear the cries
Dreamtime
From another life
Sing the chorus of the moon
See the colours in your room
Your walls are weatherboard
It's five past eleven
Can you feel the air's alive
Cicadas in the night
The sound is cutting through
Is it hell or heaven
Sorrow
Sorrow
Sorrow
We're gone tomorrow
Sorrow
Sorrow
Sorrow
We're gone tomorrow
You're gone tomorrow

Blame
06:49
|
|||
|
I know I hurt you
Did I desert you
If I held your heart then
Did I deserve to
Can I even stand up
And walk with myself
I may be sick though
I hope that you are well
Hey
I got myself to blame
I gave it up
For just a little piece of ass
Oh hey
I got myself to blame
I gave it up
For just one more fuck
Oh hey
I got myself to blame
I gave it up
I never been so scared as
When you ran for the bus
Said so much dumb stuff
Love loses to lust
Do you hate the wind still
Do you hate me too
It's all that's left
The wind still reminding of you
Hey
I got myself to blame
I gave it up
For just a little piece of ass
Oh hey
I got myself to blame
I gave it up
For just one more fuck
Oh hey hey
I got myself to blame
I gave it up
A little piece of chance
Oh hey
I got myself to blame
I gave it up
Hey
I got myself to blame
I gave it up
For just a little piece of ass
Oh hey
I got myself to blame
I gave it up
Just one more fuck
Oh hey hey
I got myself to blame
I gave it up
A little piece of chance
Oh hey hey
I got myself to blame
I got myself to blame
Hey
I got myself to blame
I gave it up
Just a little piece of ass
Oh hey hey
I got myself to blame
Yeah I gave it up
Oh I gave it all up
Hey
I got myself to blame
I gave it up
Just a little piece of ass
Oh hey
I got myself to blame
Just
One more fuck

Arrive
04:48

Once a year
The iron ore
Beneath where ice
Begins to thaw
Etchings in
The cavern walls
The faded glow of
Waning coals
Once a year
The science of
A foot through ice
Begins to thaw
Paintings dry on
Tiled floors
A furnace of
Ebbing coals
Streamers lay on
Paper plates while
Lovers stumble
Through the garden
Roll
Roll back time
Where seekers hide
And no one dies
Inside your heart beat
You
Did you decide
To arrive
It's you and I
Your arms around me
Once a year
When we recite
Our arms through ice
Where veins reside
Now i'm left with
Strange desires
The marks remind
How we collide
Dreamers take on
A world so rotten
Tyrants huddle
By the garden
Roll
Roll back time
Where seekers hide
And no one dies
Inside your heart beat
You
Did you decide
To arrive
It's you and I
Your arms around me
You
Did you decide
To arrive
It's you and I
Your arms around me
